Making Mistakes Is How We Learn And Grow

 Everyone makes mistakes.

It has been like this since as far back as human history can be traced, and it will be like this going into the future.

Making mistakes is part of us.

We can't be perfect in an imperfect world.

You just have to choose between one of the two types of people:

those who learn from their mistakes, or

those who try to justify their mistakes.

Happiness

I was watching "The Middle" on TV and from one of the episodes about the small doll house dining table that Frankie bought, thinking that it was a real life size one, it struck me then and there, what happiness means.

Happiness is when you stop trying to look for happiness.

To put it in other words, there are greater powers at play out there or up there in the entire universe.

When everything goes against your way at times, you should just look down, see what you have in your hands, do what you need to do, and soldier on for the storm to pass.

There will always going to be high tides and low tides in anyone's life. When it is the low tides, don't fight it. You are just going to waste your time and energy. Instead, go along with it, and then come back harder when the high tides come along. You have to go with the flow and learn to ride on it.

It is not about persevering for your entire life. It is about learning your strength and weakness, and doing the right thing at the right time. 

And to put it even simpler, you need to learn to understand yourself.

I wish you well in your future, and I hope you can savour ever moment of your life, both ups and downs.

With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibilities

 

When you teach someone to build something, you would like them to have the ability to build that particular item when the old one breaks or get destroyed.
You want the skill to be passed on.
However, at the same time, when you have passed on the skill, that particular item no longer holds the same value to your protégé as compared to the time before they possess the knowledge to build the item.
The reason being, they can simply build another item for replacement easily.
It is not the case every time, but sometimes, the ability to create diminishes the value of possession.
When you earn enough money to not have to worry about the amount of money that you have, does money still hold the same value to you as before?

Money corrupts men.

This is one statement that I do not intend to disprove.
Earning money is easier than not spending the money that you have earned.
When you earn too much, just stop and have a look around yourself and lend a hand to the people around you.
If you think that there is no people around you that needed your help, I don't think you have really looked at all.

哭...

那天,你刚学了3D形状,在学校用粘土和牙签做了一个金字塔回来。
途中,我们绕过幼儿园接你的弟弟和妹妹。
你一看到他们,把书包和金字塔一丢,就冲上前和他们一起玩了。
玩了一阵,当我们离开之后,你才想起你的金字塔忘了拿了。
其实,当我刚看到那个金字塔的时候,它就已经撑不起来了,所以我就说不拿也罢。
但是你坚决要回去拿。
谁知,金字塔在那几分钟里面就被其他的小朋友给分解了。
你顿时并没有哭。
我还记得很清楚,你当时很明显的一边在看着你的金字塔,一边在处理你心头突然涌起的情绪。
悲伤,愤怒,不解,悔恨,估计所有的情绪都一一上门报到了。
终于,当我们走出幼儿园的范围之后,你哭了,淘淘大哭。
我可以从你的哭声感觉到,你顿时觉得这个世界好陌生,你根本都不了解它。
好好的一个金字塔放在桌上,又没有扔在地上,为何会有人想要把它给分解了。
你跟我说你在课堂上尝试想做一个正方立体,但是没有成功,所以老师就把它给扔了,不能带回家给我看。
那时,我才意识到,那个金字塔虽然不是那么完美,但是显然是你的所有,是你的骄傲,是你用来换取父母亲肯定的一个作品。
那不只是区区一个快要散架的金字塔。
你哭得泣不成声。
你一边哭,一边替你的金字塔打抱不平,一边埋怨这个世界,一边不停的问我为什么这,为什么那。
你很悲愤。

亲爱的儿子,我不能让时间重来。
我也回答不了你所有关于这个世界的问题。
我只能在你哭泣的时候,陪在你的身边聆听你的苦恼,然后听你淘淘大哭,然后再告诉你,你很棒,一切都会好起来的。
经过了今天,你会把明天驾驭得更好。

我爱你 ❤

童言无忌

小屁孩 :爸爸,“隐形”是什么意思?
爸爸     :就是“看不见”的意思。

过了一会儿,洗澡的时候……

爸爸     :你洗好澡了吗?
小屁孩 : 洗好了。
爸爸     :你头后面的头发都洗了?
小屁孩 : 还没有。
爸爸     :那为什么不洗呢?
小屁孩 :因为它们隐形了……

有时候,我只能坦然的承认,我的智商并没有很高……
